Modeling the Movement of Particles Using Scratch
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases of matter listed above.

Students start by listening to "Those Darn Squirrels", by Adam Rubin. Instead of helping the birds, the students will explore the technology and the engineering design process to help those pesky
Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison
Students will understand the principles of creative problem-solving and innovation by designing wacky inventions. They will collaborate, think critically, and use the engineering design process to
